Review Flashcards
What is an aliphatic molecule
Greasy feel, hydrocarbon chain. No s+ or s-
Aromatic?
Has a smell. Electrons move around in a circle. Needs a ring
What are the three rules for identifying an aromatic compound?
1) huckels rule
2) every atom contributes
3) planar molecule
How to identify an aromatic compound
1) huckels rule 4n+2 = 2, 6, 10, 14, 18
2) no sp3 must be planar
3) conjugated and planar
8-12 in huckels rule means rings buckle and molecule is not planar
How to identify an anti-aromatic compound?
1) conjugated
2) planar
3) huckels rule 4n=4, 8, 12, 16
When is a compound non-aromatic?
When any conditions are not met
Nucleophile?
Positive seeking. Negative charge
Electrophile?
Negative seeking. Positive charge
Heteroatoms?
N, S, O any atom that is not a carbon or hydrogen
F-C alkylation?
Adds an alkyl halide with a Lewis acid catalyst
F-C acylation?
An EAS reaction. Benzene reacted with acyl chlorides or hydrides with a Lewis acid catalyst
EAS reaction
An atom is replaced with an electrophile
Activating groups?
Otho, para directors. Electron donating groups. Increases EAS rate of reaction
Ortho?
Carbon next to activating group.
Para?
Carbon directly across from activating group. 3 carbons away
